Hi since last week I can't withdraw my fund to my account. Also, this day I have unauthorized refund from a client without any reason. It's an hourly work, I don't know the reason for the refund.

Have you ever considered not calling it a "refund" when payment from the client is never processed and no refund is actually made? This is a constant source of confusion for freelancers when client payment methods fail. "Refund" conveys that you have received money from the client, then taken it back from the freelancer and returned it to the client.
